"Awful coach, knows nothing about the game. Let’s just say the coaches at Merrimack are more concerned about keeping their picked favorites on the team happy (along with their parents) and giving them a majority of the playing time with no stats to back it up and multiple bad games under the starters belts than winning games. Not only that but if your not put in Paul’s favorite box then you are constantly belittled, criticized, told you’re not good enough, and basically bullied by a grown man. He’s made so many girls hate the sport they play, and sadly hate themselves because of how he treats them. "

"So, you send your daughter off the college, to play the sport she loves but also excels at and she ends up with this scuzz bucket. My kid has had some amazing coaches and coaches with integrity in her career. Not at Merrimack. Can't communicate about the game, can't communicate with the players, can't lead, can't should be his middle name"

"Two faced for sure but in a soccer world he knows little about the game and even less about working with young women. "

"What a turkey. Has zero communication skills and is just a horses azz. My middle school coach knew more about the game. "

"Is there a bigger jack azz in the history of the sport? A zero communicator and a bully. Lacks any ability to connect with the team or communicate in a functional way. Don't waste your time with this clown"

"It just keeps getting worse at Merrimack Women’s Soccer and Coach Paul is the reason why. This guy is completely out of his depth coaching in the MAAC or at D1 for that matter. He has alienated the players, parents, and alumni. He is the sole reason for the program’s toxic culture. And another reason alumni won’t give any money. When things go wrong, he won’t coach your kid or help them through a tough time. He will place blame on some girls (the ones he hates) and will not take any accountability himself for failings or losing. And will never hold his favorites accountable. Ever. They always get a free pass. Thankfully this season is almost over since the girls won’t make the playoffs. It would have been fun watching Paul bumble his way through another first round loss. Girls should be hitting the portal hard. Don’t walk, RUN from Paul and this stinking program he has ruined. If you are a recruit, find another team fast. Dont ruin your college career playing at Merrimack or for Paul. "

"Filled with bluster and that's about it, but lots of bluster. We would all love to see his actual soccer skills. Please, one day let the team see how horribly skilled you are, I mean we all know it. Not a redeeming value in this coach"

"This is for the 25/26 season. My daughter currently attends Merrimack and plays for this team. We were recruited by Gabe, however this a$$hat controls this team and walks all over the head coach and thinks he’s the head coach. He is the WORST coach we have ever come across. He has ZERO knowledge of the game and has favorites that he will play no matter what. He is belittling to the players, condescending and has no coaching ability whatsoever. You should be concerned with your daughters mental health for sure under this coach!! A previous post stated that and it’s 100% accurate!! This program is a joke because of this coach, I’m not sure how or why he has been employed as long as her has. Merrimack Athletics should be embarrassed."

"What a colossal idiot. No doubt never played a lick of soccer in his life and I would guess in a survey from the team, every player would say he was the worst coach by far that they have ever had. Has no moral compass and could care less about your player's well being. Not qualified to coach prison soccer"

"A bully, revenge-seeking dream crusher who is an awful game manager. If Gabe recruits your daughter and Paul doesn’t like your daughter, consider her career as over. Paul is the worst possible coach to allow your kids to play for. Avoid Merrimack Soccer for the sake of your daughter’s mental health. Paul created a culture of fear, punishment, and harshness unlike any program I’ve heard of. How he is still employed is a mystery. Merrimack desperately needs an overhaul of the women’s staff. This program is toxic and Paul is the reason why. "

"What a pretender. Yelling and barking and never played. Run away"
